Whaaa,wahaa, wahaa Leaky 39-48 rear wheel cylinders

[Tim Ayers]

The ones I got from NAPA were US-made. That was many years now, not sure if still the case.

these defective cylinders have been made for a long time. In 2009 I put two on the rear of my model A. I had to replace one with USA Wagner.At thet time Sac Vintage sold USA ones. I bought two and put one one the shelf.

The USA are now very hard to find. Needed 2 for my AV8. I payed about 2-3 times more for one new USA Wagner cyl to go with the one on the shelf.

Sleaving original cylinders seems like a good alternative.

It's nice to see the late Dick Spadaro is still helping Ford Barn folks, like he always said "Price is important, but experience counts more".

Very true! Dick was a huge positive influence to all aspects of this hobby. I still can't believe he left us so quickly.
